Top Ten Tuesday
is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of
lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists
with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here
at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join.
All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on
your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so
that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a
blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun
way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Books That Would Be On Your Syllabus If You Taught Fantasy vs. Dystopian 101

*in no particular order

Oh yes this will be a fun class in seeing the differences between Fantasy (the past...or is it?) and the possible bleak future!!

THE FANTASY READS:

1. THE KISS OF DECEPTION by Mary E. Pearson--a wonderful fantasy series that is just awesome! Especially in its ability to trick the reader!

2.FALLING KINGDOMSby Morgan Rhodes--loove this series, so we're including it! Plus I think it's a fine example of multiple points of view, but keeping the reader's focus on the story and not making them confused!

3. SNOW LIKE ASHES by Sara Raasch--read this earlier this year and can only remember loving it! So hence, it's in the syllabus!

4. A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES by Sarah J. Maas--the prefect blend of fantasy and faeries and fairy tale!

5. POISON STUDY by Maria V. Snyder--because it's awesome and an amazing series! Plus it was practically my first fantasy read and I thought it was well done in creating a fantasy world and not making it overly confusing!

7. UNDER THE NEVER SKYby Veronica Rossi--another dismal and bleak future taking place on Earth!

8. THE VAULT OF DREAMERS by Caragh M. O'Brien--a deceptively creepy read where you never know who to trust in this futuristic setting!

9.DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth--because despite Allegiant, I really did enjoy this series that was practically my first dystopian! So yes, this is included in the syllabus!

10. POISON PRINCESS by Kresley Cole--a creepy future where nearly everyone on Earth is dead and gone, except a remaining few who are caught in a deadly game? Will the past repeat itself as it has time and again? Seriously?! LOVE this series and need the next book!!!

I would love to teach a class on Dystopian VS Fantasy! I might have even done a top ten post today if I had checked in advance that this was going on. I wrote a paper this summer on the function of love triangles in dystopias :D

Oh very nice! That's a really interesting topic (I would totally take this class). I've read most of these. I love your teaser too. It just tells me I really need to get on reading The Wrath and the Dawn!

Great list. I have always wanted to pick up Angel Burn and Poison Princess. I have read Kiss of Deception and liked it, but ACOTAR was not one of my best reads this year and only got a 4 star rating because of the last 30% or so.

I LOVE THIS TOPIC! There is a lot of crossover but it would be really interesting to discuss what's fantasy and what is dystopia and why. Although I'd probably get into a lot of debates with people. Great list!Cassi @ My Thoughts Literally

Why do you always tease me with such amazing book Jessica!?! I absolutely love that teaser because it tells you nothing but is incredibly intriguing! I'll have to check that book out, especially with a gorgeous cover like that! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have a great week!My Tuesday postJuli @ Universe in Words

Snow Like Ashes is on my TBR, hopefully I will get round to it! I am currently reading ACOTAR. I did Dystopia for my list this week and Divergent was on that.My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2015/08/25/top-ten-tuesday-19/

Ooh...I got shivers from your teaser, lol. I can't wait to read The Wrath and The Dawn! I've bought it, just haven't gotten around to reading it yet, other books in the way. Combining Fantasy and Dystopian for TTT was a great idea! I haven't read any of the books on your list, but quite a few of them are on my TBR pile. I know I'm the last person on earth that hasn't read Divergent yet, but I swear, I'm going to get to it. If only I could read 10x faster, I might, might be able to read all the books I want to read! Thanks for visiting my blog Jessica! Sorry for rambling. Happy reading! :)

I totally agree with several of these that I've read! I really want to get to Kiss of Deception soon! I started reading it awhile ago but haven't finished it. By the way, how are you enjoying The Wrath and the Dawn?
